Chapter 2: Installing the R330

This chapter describes how to mount the receiver and antenna, connect the cables
and external devices, configure the receiver, and provides default settings and
environmental considerations.

Mounting the Receiver


Note: Although you are not required to mount the receiver, you may want to do so to
prevent damage to the receiver and any cables connected to the receiver.

When mounting the receiver, adhere to the following guidelines:


• Install the receiver inside and away from the elements and in a location that
minimizes vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, and moisture
• Ensure the display panel (menu screen, LEDs, and buttons) is visible and
accessible
• Ensure the connector panel (ports/connectors) is easily accessible to
connect/switch out cables and turn power on and off
• Although the R330 is splash-proof in case of accidental exposure, it is
designed for indoor use (see Table C-7 on page 45 for R330 environmental
specifications)

Note: There is an option within the menu to switch (flip 180°) the direction of the
display. If it is easier to mount the unit upside down, you can mount it this way and
still operate the display.

Figure 2-1 illustrates the typical mounting orientation of the R330.

Chapter 2: Installing the R330

Mounting the Antenna


Note: The antenna, antenna cable, and any related antenna mounting hardware are
purchased separately.

Antennas are designed for outdoor use (see Table C-7 on page 45 for R330
environmental specifications). Proper antenna placement is critical to positioning
accuracy. When mounting the antenna, adhere to the following:
• Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky (an obstructed view of the
sky may impair system performance)
• Mount the antenna on, or as close to, the measurement center point (the
GNSS engine inside the receiver computes a position based on
measurements from each satellite to the phase center of the antenna)
• Position the antenna as high as possible
You can mount the antenna as follows:
• Magnetic mount
• Pole mount
• Surface mount

Magnetic Mount
The magnetic mount can be screwed into the bottom of the antenna and mounted to
metal surfaces. The magnetic mount includes a metal disc and foam adhesive that
allow you to bond the metal disc to the desired mounting location if there are no
metal surfaces. You then place the magnetic mount on the metal disc.
To attach the antenna to a non-magnetic surface:
1. Clean and dry the surface where you will attach the metal disc.
2. Remove the backing from one side of the foam adhesive and press the
adhesive onto the mounting surface.
3. Remove the backing from the other side of the foam adhesive and press the
metal disc onto the mounting surface, applying firm pressure to ensure
good adhesion.
4. Place the magnetic mount (with antenna attached) on top of the metal disc.

Pole Mount
The center thread of the antenna is 5/8” for compatibility with a survey pole (not
included). Simply thread the pole into the antenna.

R330 User Guide 8 PN 875-0339-0 Rev B1


Chapter 2: Installing the R330

Surface Mount
As an alternative to the magnetic mount, you can attach the antenna directly to the
mounting surface with four machine screws (no. 8-32).
To attach the antenna directly to the mounting surface:
1. Photocopy the bottom of the antenna and use it as a template to plan the
mounting hole locations.

Make sure the photocopy is scaled one to one with the


mounting holes on the bottom of the antenna.

2. Mark the mounting hole centers, as necessary, on the mounting surface.


3. Place the antenna over the marks to ensure the planned hole centers align
with the true hole centers (adjusting as necessary).
4. Use a center punch to mark the hole centers.
5. Drill the mounting holes with a 3/16” bit appropriate for the surface.
6. Place the antenna over the mounting holes and insert the mounting screws
through the bottom of the mounting surface and into the antenna.

When installing the antenna, hand tighten only. Damage


resulting from overtightening the antenna is not covered by the warranty.

Routing and Connecting the Cables


Adhere to the following when routing and connecting cables:
• Power cable must reach an appropriate power source
• Antenna cable must reach from the antenna to the receiver
• Data cable may connect to a data storage device, computer, or other device
that accepts GNSS data
• Do not run cables in areas of excessive heat
• Do not expose cables to corrosive chemicals
• Do not crimp or excessively bend cables
• Do not place tension on cables
• Coil up excess cable near unit
• Secure along the cable route using plastic tie wraps as necessary
• Do not run cables near high Voltage or strong RF noise and transmitter
sources

Improperly installed cables near machinery can be dangerous.

R330 User Guide 9 PN 875-0339-0 Rev B1


Chapter 2: Installing the R330

Connecting the Receiver to External Devices


Communication between the R330 and external devices occurs through two serial
ports and two USB ports, as shown in Figure 2-3. You can configure the ports for a
combination of NMEA 0183, binary, and/or RTCM SC-104 data.

Serial
ports

USB port (Port U) functions USB port (Port T) is used


as a serial port to connect for logging data to a
to external devices USB flash drive

Figure 2-3: R330 serial and USB ports

The serial ports and USB ports function independently. If you connect external devices
to Port A, Port B, and/or the top USB port (Port T), you can transmit and receive data
between the R330 and the devices.
• The top USB port (Port U) is designed to be connected to a host device such
as a PC. When you connect a PC to the R330 the PC should recognize it as a
serial device and a new COM will appear as a valid connection on the PC. Set
the communication software to use this new port to access the R330.
• The bottom USB port (Port T) is used for data logging to a USB flash drive
(see “Data Logging Menu” on page 49)
.

Note:If you connect the USB cable or USB flash drive to incorrect USB
ports, they will not work as the USB ports are not interchangeable.

• The serial ports operate at the RS-232 interface level to communicate with
external data loggers, navigation systems, and other devices. Either serial
port can also be used for firmware updates. Figure 2-4 illustrates the
numbering for the female DB9 port (the numbering for each male connector
is a mirror reflection of Figure 2-4) and Table 2-1 provides the pin
configuration for the serial ports
.

Note: For successful communication you must set the baud rate of the
R330’s serial ports to match that of the connected devices.

Chapter 3: Operating the R330

The R330 is designed for easy operation with LED indicators and a straightforward
menu system. This chapter discusses how to:
• Power the receiver on/off
• View/interpret LED indicators
• Use the built-in menu system
• Set the differential source
• Log data

Powering the Receiver On/Off


The R330 has a hard power switch located on the top panel.

Figure 3-1: R330 power switch

The R330 accepts an input voltage of 8 to 36 VDC via the power cable. The supplied
power should be continuous and clean for best performance. Table C-6 on page 45
provides the power specifications of the R330.

Do not apply a voltage higher than 36 VDC. This will damage the
receiver and void the warranty. Also, do not attempt to operate the R330 with the fuse
bypassed as this will void the warranty.

The R330 features reverse polarity protection to prevent damage if the power leads
are accidentally reversed. Although the R330 proceeds through an internal startup
sequence when you apply power, it will be ready to communicate immediately.
Initial startup may take 5 to 15 minutes depending on the location. Subsequent
startups will output a valid position within 1 to 5 minutes depending on the location
and time since the last startup.
The R330 may take up to 5 minutes to receive a full ionospheric map from SBAS.
Optimum accuracy is obtained once the R330 is processing corrected positions using
complete ionospheric information.

The bars along the top left of the display offer a visual representation of each
channel's tracking status (one bar section for each channel). Depending on what
signals you're tracking, the bars represent something different, where:
• If you're tracking L1 GPS only, each bar represents L1 GPS.
• If you're tracking L1/L2 GPS, each bar is two separate bars (starting from the
left, first bar for L1 GPS, second bar for L2 GPS)
• If you're tracking L1/L2 GPS and GLONASS, each bar is four separate bars
(starting from the left, first bar for L1 GNSS, second bar for L2 GNSS, third
bar for L1 GLONASS, fourth bar for L2 GLONASS)
• If you're tracking L1/L2 GPS and B1/B2 BeiDou, each bar is four separate bars
(starting from the left, first bar for L1 GNSS, second bar for L2 GNSS, third
bar for B1 BeiDou, fourth bar for B2 BeiDou)

nomenclature used for navigating the menus:
“On the Main menu selecting Data Logging > Config” is the equivalent to saying
“On the Main menu select Data Logging and press Enter. Then select Config and
press Enter.”
When making selections for a menu item, such as selecting Yes or No for Auto-Name
(Data Logging > Config menu), the instructions will indicate to select the menu item
and press Enter to allow you to then select an option for that menu item and then
press Enter again to select that option.

Using the R330 as a Base Station or Rover
RTK Operation

R330 User Guide 25 PN 875-0339-0 Rev B1


Chapter 4: RTK

RTK provides the highest accuracy (see Table C-1 on page 44 for accuracy
specifications). You can set up a base/rover RTK system using one R330 as a base
station and one R330 for each rover. Most commonly, each base station and rover
include the following:
• GNSS receiver
• GNSS antenna
• Radio: transmitter for base station, receiver for rover
• Power source

Installing the Base Station


The base station tracks GNSS signals and broadcasts differential corrections to a radio
and rover GNSS receiver. You typically set up the base station near the working area
and at a location with no obstructions between the base station and rover radio.
When installing the base station adhere to the following:
• Do not place the base station near metal objects
• Make sure the base station is at least 50 m from obstructions
• Make sure the base station and rover radio have a clear line of sight up to
5 km or less depending on the radio type when operating RTK

Installing the Rover Radio


The rover GNSS system processes the corrections and outputs highly accurate
position information.
When installing the rover radio adhere to the following:
• Ensure the rover radio and GNSS antenna are at least 1 m apart
• Rover radio must not block the GNSS antenna
• Rover radio must receive regular corrections from the base station every one
to two seconds (differential age) for up to 15 minutes to achieve RTK lock
(maximum accuracy) - typically, a lock is achieved within five minutes

R330 User Guide 26 PN 875-0339-0 Rev B1


Chapter 4: RTK

Using the R330 as a Base Station or Rover


Using the R330 as a base station or rover receiver requires a link between the base
and rover to transfer differential correction data from the base to the rover. The link
can be wired or wireless (such as a radio modem).

Use the Differential menu to view or change your differential settings. The following
available differential sources depend on the configuration you purchased.
• SBAS
• Beacon (RTCM2) - available with purchased unlock code
• RTK (CMR, ROX, RTCM3)
• Atlas (H100, H30 or H10) - available with subscription
• None (Autonomous)
To select the differential source:
1. Press Differential > Include then set each format you may use to Yes. For
example, if you will be using Beacon, set RTCM2 to Yes.
2. Press Back to return to the previous menu level, press InUse, then select
your preferred differential source. For example, if you will be using Beacon,
select Beacon (RTCM2 will be displayed when finished).

logos are trademarks of Hemisphere. Other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Licensee may
not use any of these trademarks without the consent of their respective owners.
8. LIMITED WARRANTY. Hemisphere warrants solely to the Licensee, subject to the exclusions and procedures set
forth herein below, that for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase of the Product in which it is
embedded (the "Warranty Period"), the Software, under normal use and maintenance, will conform in all material
respects to the documentation provided with the Software and any media will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship. For any Update, Hemisphere warrants, for 90 days from performance or delivery, or for the balance of
the original Warranty Period, whichever is greater, that the Update, under normal use and maintenance, will
conform in all material respects to the documentation provided with the Update and any media will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hemisphere does not warrant that the
Software will meet Licensee's requirements or that its operation will be error free.
9. WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS. The warranty set forth in Section (8) will not apply to any deficiencies caused by (a)
the Product not being used as described in the documentation supplied to Licensee, (b) the Software having been
altered, modified or converted in any way by anyone other than Hemisphere approved by Hemisphere, (c) any
malfunction of Licensee's equipment or other software, or (d) damage occurring in transit or due to any accident,
abuse, misuse, improper installation, lightning (or other electrical discharge) or neglect other than that caused by
Hemisphere. Hemisphere does not warrant or guarantee the precision or accuracy of positions obtained when using
the Software (whether standalone or embedded in a Product). The Product and the Software is not intended and
should not be used as the primary means of navigation or for use in safety of life applications. The potential
positioning and navigation accuracy obtainable with the Software as stated in the Product or Software
documentation serves to provide only an estimate of achievable accuracy based on specifications provided by the
US Department of Defense for GNSS positioning and DGNSS service provider performance specifications, where
applicable.
10. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, HEMISPHERE MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND TO LICENSEE, WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN
AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND INCLUDING
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY OR THAT THE USE OF THE
SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS ARISING AS A RESULT OF CUSTOM, USAGE OR TRADE AND THOSE ARISING
UNDER STATUTE.
11. LIMITS ON WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or
conditions, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to Licensee. In that case, any implied warranties or
conditions which would then otherwise arise will be limited in duration to ninety (90) days from the date of the
license of the Software or the purchase of the Product. The warranties given herein give Licensee specific legal rights
and Licensee may have other rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
12. CHANGE TO WARRANTY. No employee or agent of Hemisphere is authorized to change the warranty provided or
the limitation or disclaimer of warranty provisions. All such changes will only be effective if pursuant to a separate
agreement signed by senior officers of the respective parties.
13. WARRANTY CLAIM. In the event Licensee has a warranty claim Licensee must first check for and install all
Updates that are made available. The warranty will not otherwise be honored. Proof of purchase may be required.
Hemisphere does not honor claims asserted after the end of the Warranty Period.
14. LICENSEE REMEDIES. In all cases which involve a failure of the Software to conform in any material respect to the
documentation during the Warranty Period or a breach of a warranty, Hemisphere's sole obligation and liability, and
Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy, is for Hemisphere, at Hemisphere's option, to (a) repair the Software, (b)
replace the Software with software conforming to the documentation, or (c) if Hemisphere is unable, on a
reasonable commercial basis, to repair the Software or to replace the Software with conforming software within
ninety (90) days, to terminate this Agreement and thereafter Licensee shall cease using the Software. Hemisphere
will also issue a refund for the price paid by Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a
straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of three (3) years.
15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES INCLUDING ARISING IN RELATION TO ANY LOSS OF DATA,
INCOME, REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS EVEN IF HEMISPHERE HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. FURTHER, IN NO EVENT WILL HEMISPHERE'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE
LIABILITY HEREUNDER, FROM ALL CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND, EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY
LICENSEE TO HEMISPHERE TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT. THIS LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION APPLIES
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, TORT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL
THEORY AND WILL SURVIVE A FUNDAMENTAL BREACH.
16. LIMITS ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Some jurisdictions do not allow for the limitation or exclusion of liability for
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Licensee and Licensee
may also have other legal rights which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
17. BASIS OF BARGAIN. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere has set its prices and the parties have
entered into this Agreement in reliance on the limited warranties, warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability set
forth herein, that the same reflect an agreed-to allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a
remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same forms an essential basis
of the bargain between the parties. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that Hemisphere would not have been able
to sell the Product at the amount charged on an economic basis without such limitations.
18. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS INDEMNITY. Hemisphere shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee from and
against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, direct damages, judgments, settlements, fines,
penalties, costs and expenses, including royalties and attorneys' fees and related costs, in connection with or arising
out of any actual infringement of any third party patent, copyright or other intellectual property right by the Software
or by its use, in accordance with this Agreement and documentation, PROVIDED THAT: (a) Hemisphere has the right
to assume full control over any action, claim, demand or proceeding, (b) Licensee shall promptly notify Hemisphere
of any such action, claim, demand, or proceeding, and (c) Licensee shall give Hemisphere such reasonable
assistance and tangible material as is reasonably available to Licensee for the defense of the action, claim, demand
or proceeding. Licensee shall not settle or compromise any of same for which Hemisphere has agreed to assume
responsibility without Hemisphere's prior written consent. Licensee may, at its sole cost and expense, retain
separate counsel from the counsel utilized or retained by Hemisphere.
19. INFRINGEMENT. If use of the Software may be enjoined due to a claim of infringement by a third party then, at its
sole discretion and expense, Hemisphere may do one of the following: (a) negotiate a license or other agreement so
that the Product is no longer subject to such a potential claim, (b) modify the Product so that it becomes non-
infringing, provided such modification can be accomplished without materially affecting the performance and
functionality of the Product, (c) replace the Software, or the Product, with non-infringing software, or product, of
equal or better performance and quality, or (d) if none of the foregoing can be done on a commercially reasonable
basis, terminate this license and Licensee shall stop using the Product and Hemisphere shall refund the price paid by
Licensee less an amount on account of amortization, calculated on a straight-line basis over a deemed useful life of
three (3) years.
The foregoing sets out the entire liability of Hemisphere and the sole obligations of Hemisphere to Licensee in
respect of any claim that the Software or its use infringes any third party rights.

20. INDEMNIFICATION. Except in relation to an infringement action, Licensee shall indemnify and hold Hemisphere
harmless from any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of
lawyers and other professionals) arising out of or in connection with Licensee's use of the Product, whether direct or
indirect, including without limiting the foregoing, loss of data, loss of profit or business interruption.
21. TERMINATION. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause. Hemisphere may terminate this
Agreement on 30 days notice to Licensee if Licensee fails to materially comply with each provision of this
Agreement unless such default is cured within the 30 days. Any such termination by a party shall be in addition to
and without prejudice to such rights and remedies as may be available, including injunction and other equitable
remedies. Upon receipt by Licensee of written notice of termination from Hemisphere or termination by Licensee,
Licensee shall at the end of any notice period (a) cease using the Software; and (b) return to Hemisphere (or destroy
and provide a certificate of a Senior Officer attesting to such destruction) the Software and all related material and
any magnetic or optical media provided to Licensee. The provisions of Sections 6), 7), 8), 9), 10), 15), 21), 26) and 27)
herein shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
22. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS. Licensee agrees that Licensee will comply with all export control legislation of Canada,
the United States, Australia and any other applicable country's laws and regulations, whether under the Arms
Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, the
regulations of the United States Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury, or otherwise as well as the export
control legislation of all other countries.
23. PRODUCT COMPONENTS. The Product may contain third party components. Those third party components may
be subject to additional terms and conditions. Licensee is required to agree to those terms and conditions in order to
use the Product.
24. FORCE MAJEURE EVENT. Neither party will have the right to claim damages as a result of the other's inability to
perform or any delay in performance due to unforeseeable circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as
labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, war, riot, insurrection, epidemic, Internet virus attack, Internet failure, supplier
failure, act of God, or governmental action not the fault of the non-performing party.
25. FORUM FOR DISPUTES. The parties agree that the courts located in the State of Arizona and the courts of appeal
there from will have exclusive jurisdiction to resolve any disputes between Licensee and Hemisphere concerning
this Agreement or Licensee's use or inability to use the Software and the parties hereby irrevocably agree to attorn
to the jurisdiction of those courts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for injunctive relief.
26. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, exclusive of any of its
choice of law and conflicts of law jurisprudence.
27. CISG. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this
Agreement or any transaction hereunder.
28. GENERAL. This is the entire agreement between Licensee and Hemisphere relating to the Product and Licensee's
use of the same, and supersedes all prior, collateral or contemporaneous oral or written representations, warranties
or agreements regarding the same. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement will be binding unless in
writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties. Any and all terms and conditions set out in any
correspondence between the parties or set out in a purchase order which are different from or in addition to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, shall have no application and no written notice of same shall be required. In
the event that one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this
Agreement shall not be rendered inoperative but the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

LIMITED WARRANTY: Hemisphere GNSS warrants solely to the end purchaser of the Products, subject to the exclusions
and procedures set forth below, that the Products sold to such end purchaser and its internal components shall be free,
under normal use and maintenance, from defects in materials, and workmanship and will substantially conform to

EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES. The LIMITED WARRANTY shall apply only if the Product is properly and
correctly installed, configured, interfaced, maintained, stored, and operated in accordance with Hemisphere GNSS’
relevant User’s Manual and Specifications, AND the Product is not modified or misused. The Product is provided “AS IS”
and the implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY and FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE and ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, express, implied or arising by statute, by course of dealing or by trade usage, in connection with the
design, sale, installation, service or use of any products or any component thereof, are EXCLUDED from this transaction
and shall not apply to the Product. The LIMITED WARRANTY is IN LIEU OF any other warranty, express or implied,
including but not limited to, any warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, title, and non-
infringement.

GNSS’ option, the repair or replacement of any defective Product or components thereof. The purchaser shall notify
Hemisphere GNSS or a Hemisphere GNSS’ approved service center immediately of any defect. Repairs shall be made
through a Hemisphere GNSS approved service center only. Repair, modification or service of Hemisphere GNSS products
by any party other than a Hemisphere GNSS approved service center shall render this warranty null and void. The remedy
in this paragraph shall only be applied in the event that the Product is properly and correctly installed, configured,
interfaced, maintained, stored, and operated in accordance with Hemisphere GNSS’ relevant User’s Manual and
Specifications, AND the Product is not modified or misused. NO OTHER REMEDY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR CONTINGENT DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES,
INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS) SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO
PURCHASER, even if Hemisphere GNSS has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Without limiting the
foregoing, Hemisphere GNSS shall not be liable for any damages of any kind resulting from installation, use, quality,
performance or accuracy of any Product.

HEMISPHERE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PURCHASER’S NEGLIGENCE OR UNAUTHORIZED USES OF THE

SPECIFICATIONS. Hemisphere GNSS does not warrant or guarantee the positioning and navigation precision or accuracy
obtained when using Products. Products are not intended for primary navigation or for use in safety of life applications.

GNSS reserves the right to modify Products without any obligation to notify, supply or install any improvements or
alterations to existing Products.
